House action of late last week in passing legislation to increase the na­ tional debt limit to $240,000,000,000:- 00 is expected to be followed soon by <similar action in the Senate. Origi­ nally the Administration bill provided for increasing the limitation to $260 billion, but upon insistence'of the Re­ publican members of the Ways and and Means Committee, the lower fig­ ure was finally fixed. Twelve years ago, when Mr. Roosevelt was first a candidate for President, 'the national debt was less than $25 billion, ahd he was campaigning on an economy plat “foTm7~fifty" billion dollars was'fixed "as the highest possible amount of na­ tional debt the. United States could carry with safety. No wit has crossed the two hundred billion dollar mark, of which amount approximately, one hundred and twenty-five billion is at­ tributable to war expenditures, with, the balance being due to deficit finan­ cing of peace-time or civil, govern­ mental activities.

S. District Court at Chicago hds dismissed the government’s case against the Company, holding there is no issue before it, now that the concern has been I’eturned to private control, The President, in his press conference late last week, at first at­ tempted to lightly brush off the en­ tire jfciontrovei’sy as of little conse­ quence; .and then later contended the press nnd radio had not given the people a true statement of facts re­ garding the' ease. This charge was immediately chnllenged""by reporters present, In the meantime two Con­ gressional investigations of the whole Montgomery-Ward matter are getting under way; for, . despite the Presi­ dent’s contention and the Court’s de­ cision the issues raised in this, histor­ ic case have not been setlled insofar, as the Congress ahd the people of the U. S. ate concerned, There is a grow­ ing demand that some determination be made as quickly as possible as to just what, if any, staluntdi-y or con, stitutional authority the President may have, in time of war, to seize private property or otherwise enforce, his orders on private citizens through the use of military force lyid without resorting to court proceedings. * INTEREST KATE REDUCED SALES APPROVED ’The following sales of real estate were confirmed: George Kockentiet, nf_J Sgt.

Among the newcomers gulping that year at “ Aunt” Mary Murdock’s eating club wore Bill Begg of New York and Dave Brigham from the city of Brotherly Love. Boarding-house eat­ ers are notorious compliuners, nr.d one evening some one suggested that .‘Aunt” Mary’s memr might be pleas­ antly enlivened wjth a- mess of snipe. Several nights later a dozen of the boys proceeded to the deep woods on the Conley:Whitelaw Reid farm. Begg and, Brigham, being city folks, and thus unacquainted ‘With the pro­ cedure, were generously allowed the easier task o f holding the lantern and the bag. I t ’ was some time after midnight when the boys began to “ realize” . So; they set out blindly for civilization and finally stumbled onto Bridge- man’s race-track. It looked like a' road, and they were glad to be so lucky; but. about the third time around some of the signs on the fence began to look familiar. The truth dawned on them, and seeing a house nearby, they proceeded to. arouse the inhabi­ tants and inquire the way to Xenia and a possible hotel room. ttXeniaj-why—man—you-re-in-Ge- darville” ,1 was the amazing reply. They were net long, then in getting back to-their rooms, buf they were a long time letting the cat out .o f that empty snipe bag. It .was three'years before they ever told what happened, and in the meantime' no one dared, ask. One indispensable mentioned part of eating arrangement, dents can go home, and there are al­ ways a few eccentrics who eat at res­ taurant counters or out of sacks, but the majority feel the need of a board­ ing dub . These have flourished at various places in town, mainly o f course in private homes, though they didn't slay private very long, There was Galbreaths, and - Han­ nah Cooper’s and still another more famous; the one run by “ Aunt” Mary Murdock on Xenia Ave, As -long as I can remember, “ Aunt” Mary was a stooped and elderly—looking soul who wore plain black dresses and. an air of calm resignation. She was a charter W. C. T. U. member and con tinually wrote letters o f protest and suggestion to erring politicians from- sheriff to senators Atlee Pomerene and Warren Harding. One of her habits. was to lick a stamp so thoroughly that all the mu­ cilage dissolved, then come to father to get' it glued back on the envelope. Aside, however, from scouraging the demons o f the' liquor trade, “ Aunt” Mary had a sublime faith.in mankind, and seldom- would believe that the world was full of rascals or that some might bo at her very table. This ntmosophere naturally led to an assortment of , pranks. Evening worship Was held at the Club, and on one occasion when a visiting minister’ had made what seemed to be an un ending prayer, he and “ Aunt” Mary: CAMP CLIFTON TO OPEN JULY 16— The camp program at Camp Clif­ ton will open July 16, and close Aug­ ust 26, and will include five 4-H club camps, one farm women’s .camp and two farm men’s camps.
